Thing 10

Part 1:

I liked the Copyright with Cyberbee and it was very kid friendly. I would use this withe my pullout kids to show them the importance of citing their sources and giving credit to who it belongs to.  The fair use policy was interesting and very enlightening.  It will help me in guiding myself as well as guiding the kids to waht can be fairly used.  The four factors were good to know as well.  I will have to make a sign asking those four questions to help remind myself and the kids. The Creative Common was cool to know about. I didn't realize there was something like that out there.  It would be a great resourece to go to for sharing and using creative work through their organization.  After viewing the Fair(y) Use Film, it was interesting how they used it.  It was engaging way to show the kids what copyright means in using clips from disney movies.  This would be good to share with the kids.


Part 2:
1. After watching the video from Common Sense Educators, what stuck out in your mind about how the teacher introduced copyright and fair use to her students?

She did great job preparing kids with exposure to the vocabulary.  Also did a good job teaching them the purpose.  I like how in depth she went to when to use fair use and when to apply it.

2. Why do you think the lesson had such an impact on her students?

The kids took ownerhsip over it.  They understood why it was so important to use fair use.  She spend a long time discussing and teaching when to use it.  It was a fun way to introduce this leson and the kids were engaged in it.  She made it relevant to them by using people who were relevant to the kids like Beyonce.

3. The teacher in the video reinforced critical thinking skills throughout this lesson by having the students support their answers and evaluations with evidence. How does this strategy enhance the instruction taking place?

It enhances it because the kids got discussion time with small groups and whole groups.  She monitored their discussions and asked higher level thinking as she walked around.  She wrote down kids ideas and thoughts.  She dove in deeper to ensure understanding and spent time making sure the kids were engaged and understood.  She connected herself with the kids and went to their level and related it to something important to their own lives.

4. How could you implement a similar lesson with your students? Think about who you would need to help you complete this lesson (campus Library Information Specialist, content specialists, etc.) and include this information in your response.

I would modify the lesson for the pullout elementary kids so they could grasp it better.  I would see if the Library Information Specialist could also do this in her class at the beginning of the year so all kids got exposed and mastered this understanding.  But also, it would need to be reinforced and revisited by classroom teachers and content specialists as well so kids saw the consistentcy.
